Strange, he seemed like a nice guy, but I guess you never know what is going on behind closed doors. Guess he no back for season 2

Feed him to Derrick Lewis.

He seemed like a crazy guy that happened to be nice. But this just confirms he's crazy.
 
To be fair, he was assaulted first as admitted by the alleged victim. She was slapping him until eventually he returned fire. Kinda bullshit that he's arrested for assault and she's not. Either put both of them in there or none of them.
 
I love the contrast between this and how happy everyone was when he knocked out Perry's boy.

Follow MMA long enough and you realize there are almost no good guys in the sport.
 
That's the face of a killer in that pic.

A serial killer.
 
Wife probably nagging him about blowing his shot at $1,000,000.

I agree in principle, but when you're confronted by someone younger or smaller or more frail or weaker etc etc you just HAVE to show restraint, especially if you are a trained professional fighter. It's your responsibility as a human being

yes the dummy who slapped him should be up for instigating violence at the very least, but he had options other than firing a punch in her face.
That's weak, a bitch move.
 
The law doesn't allow anyone to strike any other person without provaction or self defense. So I don't get why Josh Copeland's wife wasn't arrested along with him for self admitting to repeatedly slapping him and even drawing blood from Josh Copeland. And for anyone saying a man shouldn't hit a woman because a man is stronger, then knowing that to be true it makes all the more reason a woman should never strike a man. I hope both Copeland and his wife work out their issues that made them turn it into some stupid physical altercation.
 
Not a good look...he pushed her first according to the report, then she retaliated. Took her phone too...kinda shitty to try to avoid consequences.

"Copeland's wife said the two had been arguing -- when 36-year-old Josh pushed her so she pushed him back.
The two continued to attack each other -- with Copeland's wife admitting she slapped him in the face multiple times.
Finally, Copeland's wife said the 6'1", 265-pound fighter "then punched her in the face" and threw her on the bed. She says Copeland also took her phone so she couldn't call for help. Cops say they later found her phone in Josh's pocket."

Do you think in nature the animals care if youre male or female? Old or Young? Weak or strong?

If someone attacks you there is nothing wrong with putting them down. They need to learn that the hard way. Its basic instinct to defend yourself.

If youre a women dont think you can hit a man and get away with it, its that simple.

I disagree, I'm not going to argue how different humans are from animals, that would be a silly comparison, so I'll skip to your second point.

I'm 6' around 185 and 43 years old, and know how to throw a punch and have years of martial arts experience. If a 14 year old thug of a kid tried to jack me, no, I wouldn't punch him square in the fucking face. If a woman tried to attack me, no, I wouldn't punch her square in the fucking face. If an old racist fuck tried to throw a punch on me, no, I wouldn't punch him square in the fucking face.

We have choices, and being a professional fighter with supposedly a wide knowledge of martial arts and combat sports training, AND being a heavyweight, Josh had a myriad of ways to either avoid being punched or subdue the woman. I can't accept a HW fighter punching a woman was his absolute last choice of how to handle that situation. It's not a man/woman thing, it's about being humane

Clearly you disagree and have a supremely alpha tough guy attitude, you work away, peace

Im not an alpha tough guy at all, I just understand that there are consequences for your actions. In every fight, there is someone stronger and someone weaker.

Being the weaker member does not mean you can freely attack someone without consequences. If you attack someone, expect to be attacked back.

Fair enough, but in being the stronger party (which is blatantly obvious when you are a professional HW fighter and you're about to punch a female) you have a choice as to whether or not you choose to be a shitty person or you choose to walk a better path.

I love a fight, I love punching shit, I don't do it much any more, but I absolutely know when I am in a position where I don't have to return fire with brutality

And any (especially a professional) martial artist should know the same

Im 5"7 155lbs. I dont try fighting guys who are 6"3 220lbs. If I tried to fight one I would fully expect them to beat the shit out of me. That doesnt make them a shitty person, that makes me an idiot.

You might be ok with getting hit and standing there and taking it, just dont expect everyone to agree with that.

I'm not talking about standing there getting hit, I'm talking about other options.
If a female were to hit me, and then keep on hitting me, I'm not going to punch her in the face. Full stop.

If you can't understand my point about having choices and options and the responsibilities of being a fucking huge professional fighter, well that's on you

Peace
